  • Exist for yourself and the people around you. If your idea of happiness if being universally known, you will never be happy, because every celibrity has at least as many haters has fans, and haters tend to talk louder.

    The world is you, and this life is yours. Make it memorable and agreable for yourself and those around you. I’m not saying go be an Indiana Jones and have Impossible adventures, I’m saying make the most of what you have and the ones you are surrounded with. In the end you won’t care if the universe remembers you, only what you remember.


  • I understand what you say and agree, however there is a point to be made about what the definition of stupid should be. Due to proximity, I will take myself as an example. I’m incredibly absent minded and pay little attention because I have too much on my mind and too little rest to deal with it all, so I focus on what I can while the rest often gets neglected. Many people then view my behavior as stupidity and I do not care about their opinions enough to correct their perception. Although even if I did it might not change anything. So go ahead and think what you will of me, unless they have anything helpful to say I won’t pay attention. I’m that kinda stupid.





  • Someone who pays rent doesn’t have the burden of a debt, but then again if they don’t pay EVERY MONTH -and quite high prices nowadays- they don’t have a roof over their heads; that is practically serfdom. In my case, my debt, which is almost paid off, leaves me with a possession, a value than I can pass on or monetize. Ergo my debt is momentary and yields value, renting yields nothing and is permanent.







  • Well, I DO 70hrs weeks, in that I work 10hr shifts for 7 days. But then I’m off for 7 days. Today is day off 1. But yeah, I love that I work all alone and I basically make my own schedule; I have a few tasks to do but I do them when I want during my shift, and they take up about a 3rd of my shift, so the rest of the time I a) help dayshifters by doing some of their chores, and b) educate myself cinematically. cough


  • I used to work as a fraud analyst in a call center for a financial institution, salary was great and the benefits were quite generous. Management were dillholes and clients made me lose faith in humanity quite quickly and I wanted to cry every day before work so much I was burnt out from it. Now I work as nightwatchman for a vacation resort, make less money and not much in terms of benefits but I’m easy as Sunday morning and my partner enjoys being around me again. Plus, when you consider how much income tax more I was paying before, I’m not making THAT much less when all is said an done. I was always frugal in my lifestyle anyway, I don’t drink or smoke, I don’t play video games, I don’t really go out, I learned to repair my own clothes rather than buy new ones and I don’t like brand names, and I pay a mortgage rather than rent so I have money left after the 1st of the month. So I don’t have an exciting and extravagant life, but I’m quite content.

    Thank you for coming to my TED talk!
